Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family following the sad news of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Many of our members were inspired to enjoy the outdoors through the DofE Award. The picture shows members meeting the Duke in 1979. pic.twitter.com/SSTC30CcPB
At 4.56pm yesterday we were requested by NWAS to assist with a 22yo male who had fallen at Tiger’s Clough. The team treated him with pain relief & placed a vacuum splint around the injured ankle, then stretchered him to the waiting ambulance.We wish him a speedy recovery. pic.twitter.com/ZEbrt4vaLT
1/2 From all of us at BMRT we would just like to thank every one of you that donated to us this weekend. It was a hard decision for us not to do our usual Easter meet and great around Rivington but for the safety of our team members, we decided against it. pic.twitter.com/xkNOo8equX

1/ Today is usually a busy and important day for the team. With so many people visiting the Rivington area in particular, we would usually have our displays set up around the area to help educate people about outdoor safety. pic.twitter.com/0iKNZaqWU1

❓ Did you know that moorland and wildfires can be started in a number of ways? Sadly, many are started deliberately, however, some can break out by people being careless with barbecues, campfires or not disposing of cigarettes properly 🔥 pic.twitter.com/WDHdEHFcXA

Very kind eye protection equipment donation to the team from our national body – Mountain Rescue England and Wales
With the first of the new Search and Rescue HMCG helicopters starting to go operational shortly on April 1st this year, and following consultation between the SAR-H helicopter contract provider Bristow, and our national body – MREW, the issue of strong rotor downwash were identified, with the need for personal protective eyewear for mountain rescuers working in the vicinity of the new helicopters.
In order to standardise such protective eye wear within mountain rescue, our national body; Mountain Rescue England and Wales, kindly decided to set up an account with Ultimate Industrial to supply completely free to each receiving mountain rescue team, a full membership issue of protective goggles.
Today we are very pleased to announce the receipt of fifty pairs of bolle SAFETY Atom Goggles from MREW via Ultimate Industrial, which will be issued to all our operational call out list members, to be carried as part of their standard MRT member kit issue.
The Atom Goggles are made of thermo plastic rubber, in a blue frame colour, with a polycarbonate anti scratch / anti fog lens, fully ventilated, and large enough to fit over prescription glasses.
Each pair of Atom Goggles issued to our membership also comes complete with a protective pouch.
The team wishes to extend its grateful thanks to our national body – MREW, for this very kind donation, and we would also like to recognise the work of our National Equipment Officer Richard Terrell, for his personal part in making this possible, including his advice given to our Team Leader over this equipment donation.
